+Binding
Has anyone considered adding binding language for attaching listeners
to GUI elements? I'm looking to separate my business logic (i.e.
listeners) from my view (i.e. the GUI). Right now, it seems like
swixml still requires Java code with intimate knowledge of the GUI
defined in the XML file (such as the names of widgets). I'd like to
separate that out into an external file, sort of like XBL. Of course,
I want a much lighter-weight language than XBL, but XBL has a lot of
good things from which to learn.
Might I suggest OGNL at http://www.ognl.org. It's currently used by a
lot of the popular web frameworks (Tapestry, WebWork, add-on framework
for WebObjects, add-on taglib for Struts) as a binding language. It
takes a lot of the code that you normally have to write in Java out of
the picture.
It's Open Source, of course.
